Upon hearing the lackeys’ flowery words, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect couldn’t help but twitch their lips in response.
In order to be the bodyguard of someone as filthy rich as Feng Yun Realm, they must surely be extraordinary themselves. However, an expert should have the temperament of an expert. How could they lower themselves to grovel beneath the feet of others… It was an unsightly scene to witness.
Ming Du aimed his staff at the bunch of lackeys and said, “Ke ke! So it was just a bunch of bootlickers! Let’s just go down and take them all out.”
“Don’t fool around!” Fearless sternly said, “There are guards everywhere. If we were to kill them, we wouldn’t be able to escape from the guards. Just stick to the plan! Old Meng, Little Snow, take action!!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Upon receiving Fearless’ command, Yang Nuo and Ling Long Meng nodded their heads and knocked their bows. Shortly after, a row of arrows flew towards Feng Yun Realm’s group of people, releasing a sonic boom in its wake.
Even though the bunch of Feng Yun Realm’s lackeys were disgusting to look at, they certainly had the qualifications to act as the bodyguard of someone of Feng Yun Realm’s status, their skills and techniques were beyond ordinary.
Before Yang Nuo’s and Ling Long Meng’s arrows could reach its destination, an Assassin beside Feng Yun Realm flashed in front of Feng Yun Realm, waving his dagger in a fervent dance.
The sound “Dang, dang” rang out a few times and shortly after, the arrows all landed on the ground.
At the same time, the Assassin shouted, “Not good, there’s an ambush! Old Tiger, protect Young Master Feng!”
It was clear that the rest of the players behind Feng Yun Realm weren’t weak either. The moment the Assassin stepped in front of Feng Yun Realm, the rest of them immediately spread themselves out and formed a protective circle around Feng Yun Realm.
Following the Assassin’s command, a bearded burly man stood out from the rest and planted his shield at the front of the group, accurately blocking off the Quan Zhen Sect’s Archers’ vision.
“Aiyo? This bunch of bootlickers are pretty decent!” Upon seeing the swift reaction of this group of bodyguards, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect couldn’t help but praise in astonishment.
In the face of an ambush, the first reaction of ordinary players would be to panic. It would take a good four to five seconds before they could establish their defences to respond to the attack.
However, this bunch of helpers hired by Feng Yun Realm could immediately react to the attack and set up their defences at the same time. Clearly, this group of players were seasoned veterans. Wanting to wipe out their entire team in a short period of time would prove to be a difficult task.
It is to be known that Freedom City was a trading hub for many players and it was a taboo for players to engage in violence in any way. Once a PK incident occurs, the player would be targeted by all of the other players here. When that happens, things would spiral out of control.
Given the previous performance of Feng Yun Realm’s bodyguards, as well as the Obsidian grade equipment that they are wearing, it was impossible for the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect to eliminate them all, at least not without the help of Wang Yu.
Of course, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect never had any intention of murdering anyone, and only wanted to steal their items. After all, the security within Freedom City was extremely tight, murdering someone here would only bring trouble.
Thus, upon seeing the standard displayed by Feng Yun Realm’s lackeys, Fearless calmly smiled and sent out a message to Yang Nuo.
The message only contained a single word, “Run!”
Upon receiving the order, Yang Nuo leapt down from the roof of a building and ran towards the direction of the port.
Feng Yun Realm, who was initially shocked silly from the sudden attack, finally recovered his wits. He furiously pointed at Yang Nuo’s figure and shouted, “Old Rat, don’t let him escape! How dare he try to ambush daddy here. He’s simply courting death!”
“Chase him?”
The Assassin that had used his dagger to fend off the arrows previously hesitated for a moment, before saying, “I’ll give chase. The rest of you, protect Young Master Feng!”
After saying his piece, Old Rat promptly gave chase, following behind Yang Nuo’s figure. He activated [Stealth] and vanished in front of everyone’s eyes.
Upon seeing Old Rat taking his leave, the man called Old Tiger took out a light blue bead from his inventory and tossed it to the ground in front of them. Shortly after, a blue-coloured ray of light emanated from the bead.
It was actually the True Eye! It was clear that they were working under an extremely wealthy person for them to be able to casually toss out a tool like the True Eye which costs over a few hundred gold.
However, this True Eye was used at the right moment. With the release of the blue-coloured ray of light, at this moment, Darknorth Fisher’s position, which was just two metres away from Old Tiger, was revealed.
Upon seeing Darknorth Fisher, Old Tiger snorted and said, “Heng! I knew you guys were baiting the tiger to leave its den!!”
The moment Old Tiger finished his sentence, a figure suddenly appeared behind Darknorth Fisher. A tall and skinny player wielding a greenish dagger stabbed into Darknorth Fisher’s back.
“Pft…”
The moment the dagger entered Darknorth Fisher’s body, a weird sound rang out. The Assassin was momentarily stunned, upon seeing the target, which he had previously stabbed, turn into a scarecrow. The real Darknorth Fisher immediately dropped into a roll and rolled out of the True Eye’s range. Without looking back, he immediately dashed away from the group.
Old Tiger pointed his finger at Darknorth Fisher and said, “Big Dragon, hurry up and mark him! He is the real Assassin!”
The tall and skinny Assassin nodded, before tossing a red talisman at Darknorth Fisher’s figure.
At this moment, Darknorth Fisher received a message, <System notification: You have been marked with tracking magic, [Stealth] abilities will momentarily be unusable.>
[Tracking Mark]… it was an extremely rare non-class restricted ability. Once a player had been marked by this skill, for a period of three minutes, the marked player would be unable to use any form of [Stealth] abilities. At the current stage of the game, it was the only skill available that could target an Assassin’s [Stealth] ability.
To think that the user of this ability was an Assassin himself… eh? Why would an Assassin want to make things difficult for another fellow Assassin?
Feng Yun Realm was relatively confident in the skills of the bodyguards under him, thus he had only brought along six of them for this auction.
After being marked, Darknorth Fisher could no longer hide his tracks. The other few players that were originally protecting Feng Yun Realm immediately gave chase after him.
Thus, the only player left protecting Feng Yun Realm was the bearded man named Old Tiger.
While holding a firm grip onto his shield, Old Tiger steadily retreated to the wall behind them, focusing his gaze in front of him.
At this moment, two arrows emanating a black ray of light, one behind the other, flew towards Feng Yun Realm.
“Heng! Useless tricks!” Upon seeing the incoming black arrows, Old Tiger squinted his eyes and slightly raised his shield in front of him, blocking both himself and Feng Yun Realm from the attack. However, before the two arrows could reach them, the arrows’ trajectory ended short of its target and were stuck in the ground in front of Feng Yun Realm and Old Tiger.
“…”
Upon seeing this, both Feng Yun Realm and Old Tiger frowned.
F*ck, if they wanted to set up an ambush, they had to at least have the ability to carry on with it. How could they call themselves Assassins if they didn’t even have the strength to fire an arrow?
However, before the both of them had the time to belittle the player that had fired those arrows, a few figures appeared from a corner of the walls.
Even though these players had their faces hidden, it wasn’t hard to discern that the player at the front of the group was a Priest, followed by an Assassin as well as two Warriors.
These few people were naturally Fearless and the rest from Quan Zhen Sect.
Upon seeing Fearless and his gang, Old Tiger immediately went pale. He hurriedly said to Feng Yun Realm, “Young Master Feng, you make a run for it first! I’ll hold them off.”
“Ke ke!” Upon hearing Old Tiger’s statement, Fearless smiled and said, “Don’t bother. None of you is leaving this place.”
“?”
Just when Feng Yun Realm and Old Tiger were about to take action, they realised that both of them were completely unable to move at all.
